Food Notes: Joe's Ravioli's & the Oasis

Joe's Ravioli

The doors to Joe’s Ravioli opened on January 8th and with this, Macon gained a little slice of old world Italian cuisine—straight from the streets Brooklyn. Joe Bocchino’s imported New York pastas are all handmade and his sauces are traditionally created with fine Italian tomatoes. He carries on his Grandma Elise’s love of cooking through doing it as she would: from scratch and with plenty to go around. Open Tues-Thurs 11:30-8:30, and Fri-Sat 11:30-9:30 at 3975 Arkwright Road in Macon. 478.787.0211

Oasis

If you hadn’t already noticed, the Oasis, a new spot for dining and entertainment, is open downtown. Owner Leslie Smith says she loves entertaining and putting smiles on faces. Whether you are looking to munch on tasty wings or chicken tenders (which she serves till 2am), watch a game on one of the eight TVs, or shoot a game of pool on one four tables you are certain to enjoy a good time. If the excellent hospitality doesn’t bring you back, then the live bands and happy hour specials will. Come by Mon-Tues 11:30-5, Wed-Fri 11:30-3 and 5-2am, and Sat-Sun 8pm-2am. 580 Cherry St. 478.741.9070
